(CMR) Miriam Foster has been sued by a local hotel for outstanding fees after residing there for almost a year. According to the court document, Foster managed to rack up a Cl$82,005.02 hotel bill, of which Cl$28,095.83 was still owed.
According to the writ of summons filed late last year, on or around 8 February 2022, Foster entered a contract with the Grand Cayman Marriott Hotel to occupy a hotel room commencing 8 February 2022 (the “Check-In Date”).
No finite term was set for Foster's occupancy at the check-in date; the occupancy of the room was “open-ended,” incurring a daily charge.
Foster occupied the room with other family members from 8 February 2022 until 30 January 2023. In addition to charges for the occupancy of the room, further charges were incurred in relation to the use of additional amenities and services provided, namely meals at restaurants within the resort.
However, rather than being paid for at the point of sale, the charges for the additional amenities and further services were added to the room account, to be paid subsequently.
At various times during Foster's stay at the resort, payments were made to the hotel by her and third parties. The payments made by or on behalf of Foster totaled Cl$59,909.19. The last payment made by or on behalf of Defendant was received on 23 November 2022, in the sum of Cl$ 2,600.00. The unpaid balance at the date hereof is Cl$28,095.83.
According to the court document, on 3 May 2023, a formal demand letter was sent to Foster, which was acknowledged by her return email. However, she failed to make any payments.
Accordingly, Mariott claims the principal sum of Cl$28,095.83, in addition to pre-and post-judgment interest from 30 January 2023 until the judgment debt is paid, in accordance with Section 34 of the Judicature Law (2021 Revision) and the Judgment Debts (Rates of Interest) Rules (2021 Revision) at the rate of 2.375% or for such rate and for such period as the Court deems fit.
